I know it was different times back then, but why in the **** did they have the POTUS riding thru a city in an open limo like that?

Because the government had not yet grown to the level that it feared its own people. Before 1900, you could go up to the White House door and knock on it. There was no fence.

Wow. I wish we had that back.

It seems the people that attack the gov. forget that 'we are them' Mc Veigh comes to mind right away.
